Samsung Note 8

Spen

finer tip, greater pressure sensitivity.

PenUp has coloring book templates.

Text message lack emotion so Spen lets you animate what you write or draw (sound familiar iOS users )

Live Message - can animate anything you write or draw, or add to picture.

Don't have to sync or charge the S-Pen....wonder what that was aimed at lol

I didn't catch that bit lol

 

[shyam09]

SPen has a push to remove mechanism (I believe the Note 7 was the first to have this right?)

 

[Shanghaichica]

Sparkle pen!!!

 

[shyam09]

Spen + screen off memo.

Made it even better: To do list can be edited with double tap. Can keep writing and writing up to 100 pages without turning on screen.

She did the before and after focus in the dark too.

I wonder if they will announce a flame resistance feature

 

[shyam09]

Translate entire sentences with S-Pen.

Automatically converts units and currency.

Welcome John Wong, Director of Marketing who is thrilled to be here.

Bixby and Samsung Dex

Very useful. It's like having a notebook.

Bixby - Quick commands.

Use custom command phrase to make Bixby do things for you.

"Food Photo" - bixby automatically launches camera, sets it to food mode, snaps the pic, opens gallery, and moves pizza slice to fruity album.

He made a joke - "That way he can move the actual pizza slice to my mouth" .. no one laughed.

"Good Night" - Do not disturb mode, sets alarm, turns on blue light mode.

(customizable of course)

 

[Shanghaichica]

Setting up bixby commands. Very useful.

Bixby....argh....

 

[Shanghaichica]

Hubby has already accepted that I will be getting the phone. He said I'm sure you will end up with this phone.

at least he knows better than argue about it

 

[Shanghaichica]

DeX looks even more useful.

 

[shyam09]

Samsung Dex - ecosystem with partnership apps, Microsoft, Adobe, etc.

Zoom app - video conferencing > docked into Dex > open up app in Dex and the video conference is still connected. Can share screen

 

[LIVEFRMNYC]

Dex should be better with the extra 2gb. I still haven't tried Dex yet.

 

[shyam09]

They keep saying that it's all because of "us". That's nice, but stop saying that so many times.

Wait, so no Gear S4? Or is this thing still going on?

EDIT: I see it's still going.

 

[shyam09]

The power of this baby

10 nm processor, 6 GB RAM

Micro SD card slot / 64 GB storage on board

 

[Shanghaichica]

Yes I will pre-order this on Friday. Probably forgo the iPhone 8 and keep my 7 plus. I hope DeX is the free gift for Europe as rumoured.

Preorders - matter of days
[doublepost=1503503356][/doublepost]AKG headphones - tuned by them --> can plug them into the standard earphone jack ... everyone goes wild

 

[Shanghaichica]

I wonder what colours we are getting in the UK. I hope gold is coming here. Yet again I think they will reserve that for Asia.
[doublepost=1503503514][/doublepost]I'm off work on the 15th of September too.

 

[shyam09]
